asphyxial
Relating to suffocation
Asphyxial describes something relating to or caused by asphyxiation—the state of being deprived of oxygen.
The term appears most often in medical and forensic contexts: asphyxial death, asphyxial injuries.
An asphyxial mechanism involves suffocation, strangulation, or other interference with breathing.
